Product Information
Full details
The Dare 2b Descent Cycling Shorts are designed for adult male cyclists who tackle steep, technical trails and require high-performance, durable gear. Their primary benefit is an ergonomic Ride Fit that ensures comfort during long hours in the saddle, complemented by windproof and abrasion-resistant fabrics that survive rough terrain. Please note that these shorts are specifically engineered for off-road cycling performance and lack integrated chamois padding, so they may require a separate padded liner for maximum comfort on exceptionally long rides.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Do these shorts have a padded chamois inside?
No, these are outer-shell cycling shorts and do not contain an integrated padded liner.
Are these shorts suitable for road cycling?
While they can be used for road cycling, they are specifically designed with a trail-ready profile and loose fit, which may create more wind drag than tight-fitting road-specific lycra.
How should I wash them to maintain the fabric?
Machine wash cool, do not use fabric softener, and avoid tumble drying to protect the technical coating.
Is the material waterproof?
The material features a water-repellent finish, meaning it will shed light rain and splashes, but it is not fully waterproof in heavy downpours.
Can I use these for hiking as well?
Yes, their durable ripstop construction and UV protection make them very effective for hiking and other outdoor activities.
Troubleshooting
Water repellency seems to be fading
Wash the garment to remove dirt and surface oils; if it remains ineffective, consider applying a technical fabric re-proofer spray.
Shorts feel too tight while pedaling
Ensure the waistband is positioned correctly at the hips and check that you have the correct size according to your natural waist measurement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These shorts feature a traditional zip fly and secure closure system. To maintain the integrity of the water-repellent finish and the technical polyester fibers, follow these care instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash on a cool setting with mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can strip the water-repellent coating.
- Drying: Air dry whenever possible to preserve the shape and fabric technology.
- Compatibility: These shorts are designed as an outer shell. For long-distance comfort, pair them with your preferred cycling liner or bib shorts underneath.
- Storage: Ensure the shorts are fully dry before folding to prevent any potential mildew growth on the water-resistant coating.
